Has anyone heard of coating undercarriage?
I just bought a 2001 Holiday Vacationer 33' and I was concerned about the undercarriage. The gentleman that sold it to me is a used salesman and he does his own repairs. He told me it would cost $700 ...

There are two schools of thought and a few different coatings that may make a difference.
I have not seen it in years but there used to be a product line that was sold as "rust converters" supposed to react with rust, stop it and seal it, I can not attest to how well it did or did not work. Only aware of the existance.
The two schools of thought are as follows:
Undercoating, if done properly, when new, is great, but if you chip it and moisture gets UNDER the coating, then it is the exact opposite of great, it may make it rust faster.
That said, there used to be a company that guaranteed their work. I had 'em do a car I once owned, and yes, it rusted out,,, but well after the warranty period.
Not sure if the undercoating made a difference or what that difference was.
